How to know if you’re an Empath or HSP (highly sensitive person)
Hi Tanya
Beautiful article. I love your gentle examples. Well done.
With gratitude
Kim
Thank you Kim – appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed the article. Let me know if theres more on the empath vs hsp topic you’d like to hear
Very well & gently written.
As an empath, I really appreciate this idea of creating a safe space for myself—the picturing of boundaries sounds like a brilliant idea. I’ve found other ways to test the temperature of my emotions (and whether or not they are mine), but I like your suggestions here.
Thank you!
You are very welcome Barbara! Thanks for your feedback and you may want to check out How Setting Boundaries will Boost Your Biz which has great tips and techniques on how to recognize and set boundaries. They work in everyday life too 😉
Great article. I have had times where I wonder the difference between HSP and empath. This explains the difference perfectly and understandably. The protection and meditation tips were a big bonus to this read. Thank you!
Thank you so much don’t think I am now as crazy as I thought x
Thank you so much for your guidance on learning about Empaths.
Thank you so much for this post. I was recently diagnosed as an empath by my counselor. I had never heard the word before, but struggled my whole life. Nobody I’ve ever met understands me and that can be very lonely, it’s nice to understand a little why, and to know there are other people like me. I’m excited to start trying these exercises. Although, it was nice to know there was a name for what I’ve been going through, that didn’t help me handle feelings, so I really hope this will help. Thank you.
Hi Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to comment. Good for you for taking the time to explore what it means to be an empath and to start trying some exercises and becoming aware of your own energy. If you haven’t tried it yet, a great starting place is by assessing your energy before you start your day with an energetic check-in. I touched on it briefly in this article but if you want to see it in action there click here to watch my video. I also really suggest learning about how to be aware of and protect your energy before getting on social media. You might enjoy The Essential Facebook Guide for Empaths
Thank you for this comforting article….. I have become an introvert and stay home where it’s safe….. Even stepping in to the grocery store I get dizzy and can’t concentrate… Very sensitive to noise and light. I don’t like bright lights at home either candlelight is the best.
I know that I am an empath and have been searching for knowledge…
I am going to watch your videos and everything else that you offer. I am so thankful to have found you…
Namaste
